Santa Catalina Island is an idyllic Pacific paradise—one that was fondly frequented by former corporate businesswoman, Whitney “Whit” Dagner, and her brother, Nick, who return to the island to take over “Nautically Yours,” a tourist operation once run by their grandparents. The duo conducts popular glass bottom boat tours and also operate a quaint gift shop. But when a dead body emerges--a strangled corpse is spotted during one of the boat tours and is later identified as belonging to a wealthy and powerful (albeit shady) local businessman--the once heavenly vacation destination turns into a hellacious crime scene. Matters grow even more grave when the investigation points to Nick--who had an ax to grind with the deceased--as prime suspect. This sets Whitney on a quest to clear suspicions about her brother and root out the real killer.
A well-drawn cast of memorable
characters—along with a cuddly cat, the spirited pull and tug of romance and surprising twists and
turns--deepen the appeal of this swimmingly bright and breezy first cozy mystery
by Gabby Allan.
